Literary notes about Charmed (AI summary)

The term “charmed” in literature conveys both a sense of magical enchantment and an irresistible personal allure. Writers use it to describe moments when a character or object radiates a spellbinding quality—whether it’s a look so captivating that it compels conversation [1] or a musical performance that seems to sway the very course of nature [2]. At times, “charmed” illustrates the subtle influence of social graces and interpersonal dynamics, transforming an ordinary encounter into an affair of wonder and delight [3][4]. In other instances, it hints at a deeper magic, an almost supernatural force that draws others irresistibly near [5][6].
